We all change and grow, but recognizing these changes can be hard. As for working..... what is your passion? Follow that, and you will be happy. Have you thought of getting a booth in an Antique or Peddlar's mall, or a sharing a small shop with someone? You have a great sense of style and could incorporate that with a small shop business that did not require you to be away from home every day. As for what to blog about.... the things that interest you. Those are always the best topics! Vicki in Louisville KY

You are right about the idea of a shop. I have kicked around the idea of a consignment shop. I also have some notes for a novel. I suppose everyone has a novel in their mind they would like to finally write.

I may have to figure out how to design my own graphics ~ but probably will rely on a designer. As Brenda said, it's time for a new blog look now that I am in to new local. At the very least a new background. I am getting tired of looking at the old one!

Yes we would get into mischief! I have been known to get a little crazy in places like Hobby Lobby, consignment shops, antique shops and I can easily overdose on a chocolate milk shake :-) I do wish you lived closer!

I thought I was following your blog, but apparently I wasn't. But now I am. I enjoyed looking back through your posts and catching up. I was trying to remember where Victoria is -- near San Antonio? We used to live in Arlington.

Ok you listed some items so I would like to see your Grandmother's Flower Garden / how you are coming along / where you are with it..you and I both have a love of quilts and I know that you are working on one here and there and I know that a quilt like that can be years or a lifetime project...so that is my request! :) Doesn't mean anything in regards to a major change / just my interest :)

How about little day trip tours? I always enjoy photos of little shops, parks, flower beds, etc. of areas far from me. I bet there are lots of places you could "take" us. Cultural events of your area, farmer's markets, your decor you change as your place becomes yours? If it interests you, you will interest us!

Susan, you have already made such an adventure of all the things that have come up in your life, from the cottage you loved to the house you have chosen and wherever you decide to go with the blog, will be just as fun and exciting, for you, and for anyone who follows your creativity and sense of whimsy!

You've had much transition in your life and it's funny how things just evolve. I recently renamed my blog because it wasn't doing it for me and didn't speak to who I was as well. The name was also limiting and I wanted to blog in life in a broader sense. I do hope you'll come and visit me at my new home. (((hugz)))
